Amber Scott should be enjoying life as a college freshman. She should be pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She should be working hard to make sense of her precalculus math class. She shouldnât be waking up her college roommate with screaming nightmares. She shouldnât be flashing back, reliving the three weeks of hell she barely survived last year. And she definitely shouldnât be spending time with sexy player Marcus Reid. But engineering student Marcus is the only one keeping Amber from failing her math course, so she grudgingly lets him into her life. She never expects the king of hookups will share his painful past. Or that sheâll tell him her secrets in return, opening up and trusting him in a way she thought sheâd never be able to again. When their fragile future together is threatened by a stalker Amber thought was locked away for good, Marcus is determined to protect her. And Amber is determined to protect Marcusâ¦even if that means pushing him away.

Excerpt

Amber

I glance back at Emma, whoâs busy looking through a rack of fleecy pajama bottoms, then walk out the store and into the solid wall of a person.

âKitten,â the wall says as I step back. Marcusâs gaze jumps to the storeâs name and his mouth slides into an amused grin. âYou donât need to get sexy underwear for our tutoring sessions, but I wonât say I donât appreciate it.â

I somehow manage not to roll my eyes at the name. Telling him not to call me that hasnât helped. Itâs only encouraged him to use the name more. I narrow my eyes instead. âI thought you said you werenât stalking me.â

âIâm not.â He lifts a plastic bag from the bookstore, and removes a book with a teenage girl and a male angel on the cover. âI was buying a birthday present for my friendâs sister. And now that you mention it, how do I know youâre not stalking me?â

From the corner of my eye, I spot a guy checking me out. Marcus brushes a strand of hair from my face. I flinch when his fingers touch my cheek, but then I see the other guy scurry away.

I think of Marcusâs reputation for not getting attached, of the way he jumped between me and that guy at the party. I take a deep breath, almost positive that what Iâm about to do is incredibly stupid. âWhat are you doing Friday night?â
